Beats by Girlz is a non-traditional music technology curriculum, collective and community founded in 2012 by Erin Barra, who is an Associate Professor at the berklee college of music. The program was launched to empower young women in music technology by providing access to tools, guidance and role-support in order to develop their interest and career opportunities in music production and composition, and engineering. BBG has chapters all over the world, including NYC, Los Angeles, Berlin, Madrid and more.
